		<description>Oh, I believe there&#039;s still plenty of original thoughts out there in the blogosphere. All you have to do is navigate your way to any Irish blogger&#039;s site and you&#039;ll see what I mean. :)

Okay seriously, There&#039;s always those who do just as you say and if they get into the search engines at all they stand out like the proverbial sore thumb (must be those coordinating site colors they paid for). I find these type of &quot;experts&quot; myself in my daily &quot;walk-a-blogs&quot; and the majority of them seem to be a bit on the young side. I relate these bastions of knowledge to the same ones who leave those &quot;one hit wonders&quot; of a comment similar to the ones you mentioned in your &quot;How NOT to Comment on Comments&quot; post.

But I can see how you might feel that the blogosphere is getting cluttered up. How many new blogs are begun each day? I can&#039;t remember the exact figure but it ranged in the high 100&#039;s of thousands. Still, there&#039;s always going to be good content out there, we just have to hope the folks who write this content can get up to speed on real, quality SEO so we can find them.

In the meantime I do believe I&#039;ll head back to the clutter that&#039;s my blog, get to work on coordinating my colors and writing up useless information. Perhaps I&#039;ll even attempt to lower my 97% SEO score a bit just to fit in with the new trend. I need visitors! 

Thanks for another great article Lorelle and please forgive my offbeat sense of humor. :D</description>

I wrote it in the article and grabbed that phrase at last minute and slapped it into the title. I liked the sound and the double negative. I often use similar &quot;nots&quot; in my blog posts such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/08/07/how-not-to-comment-on-comments/&quot; title=&quot;How NOT to Comment on Comments&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;How NOT to Comment on Comments&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/08/30/how-not-to-tick-people-off-and-keep-them-coming-back-for-more/&quot; title=&quot;How Not to Tick People Off and Keep Them Coming Back For More&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;How Not to Tick People Off and Keep Them Coming Back For More&lt;/a&gt;, and use such double negatives in my writing. 

I think using a negative change how people look at a post and post title. Thanks for noticing.</description>

		<description>Sounds like a curious example of &quot;link bait&quot; to me, I was watching to see if you fell for it too, but no. Good job! There are many people who aren&#039;t quite as &quot;literal minded&quot; in their strategies, it&#039;s whatever works, not whatever makes sense and works. Sort of a modern version of the freak side show - who would go to see that? But everybody does...

Nice to discover your blog, I&#039;ll be back for actual useful stuff to read!</description>

I love articles about seo like your example   Lorelle.

Because I&#039;m a seo and so I have many,many customers in the future.

;)

This days it isn&#039;t necessary to know something it is only necessary to have good friends in a social  bookmark community and your blog is fast as the wind in the top ten by technorati or digg or yigg in german or something else.

I&#039;m sure you and soemtinmes tillt at windmills. ;)

kindly regards

		<description>Sometimes I wonder how in the world a keyword produced websites in the top 10.  There are times they are completely unrelated.

Thanks for the great post I enjoy reading your various post.

		<description>Who knows what the people at Google are working on, next year the page rank might be defined by how the pages uses colors ;-)

My guess is that the blogger decided to play expert in an area that feels like the area where there are most money to be made by blogging. But I agree SO much with you, blog about what you know or just DONT blog.</description>
